My parents are currently visiting Tasmania for a few weeks, so we took the opportunity to catch up with them this weekend down in New Norfolk.
This is the weekend in pictures (warning: may contain fungus...)
Told you :-)
Saturday - Mount Field National Park
Plateau on the drive up to Lake Dobson (and snow!)
Looks peaceful, but was freezing cold and blowing a gale
Lake Dobson
Boardwalk around the lake (we chickened out after venturing this far)(too cold...)
Getting distracted along the walk to Russell Falls
(back down at the bottom of the park)(and out of the snow)
The walk took a long time...
There were some other distractions
But mostly we wasted time with these
Russell Falls
The creek below the falls
So much fungi, so little time...
(and here my parents were thinking they would be the slow ones on this walk)
Walking further up to Horseshoe Falls
Creek between the two falls
Horseshoe Falls
Random tourists
And more fungus
My Dad was unable to resist joining in the fun
Night-shot of the river back at the caravan park (still no luck with stars - too many clouds)
Sunday - Gordon River Road to Strathgordon
Driving up with low clouds covering the surrounding hills
Misty view over Lake Pedder
Ted's Beach (was the name of the campground at this spot, this is clearly not the beach...)
More views over Lake Pedder
Interesting fungus (looks like coral)
Moss is also fun to photograph when you run out of fungus
Roadside view
Gordon Dam (Dad and Ryan are the two tiny specks you can see walking along the wall)
Looking down to Gordon River at the bottom
Lake Gordon
Everybody is a comedian...
Serpentine Dam
And last but not least - you guessed it: fungus!
Thank you for sharing a lovely two days with us. The photos of the fungi are exquisite!
